Proverbs 9:7-13
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 9
7
One who corrects a scoffer gets dishonor for himself,
And one who rebukes a wicked person
gets
insults for himself.
8
Do not rebuke a scoffer, or he will hate you;
Rebuke a wise person and he will love you.
9
Give
instruction
to a wise person and he will become still wiser;
Teach a righteous person and he will increase
his
insight.
10
The fear of the
Lord
is the beginning of wisdom,
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
11
For by me your days will be multiplied,
And years of life will be added to you.
12
If you are wise, you are wise for yourself,
And if you scoff, you alone will suffer
from it.
13
A woman of foolishness is boisterous,
She has
a lack of understanding and knows nothing.
King James Version
Chapter 9
7
He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
8
Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
9
Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
10
The fear of the
Lord
is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
11
For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.
12
If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.
13
A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 9
7
The one who corrects a mocker
will bring abuse on himself;
the one who rebukes the wicked will get hurt.
8
Don’t rebuke a mocker, or he will hate you;
rebuke the wise, and he will love you.
9
Instruct the wise, and he will be wiser still;
teach the righteous, and he will learn more.
10
"The fear of the
Lord
is the beginning of wisdom,
and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
11
For by me your days will be many,
and years will be added to your life.
12
If you are wise, you are wise for your own benefit;
if you mock, you alone will bear the consequences."
13
Folly is a rowdy woman;
she is gullible and knows nothing.
New Living Translation
Chapter 9
7
Anyone who rebukes a mocker will get an insult in return.
Anyone who corrects the wicked will get hurt.
8
So don’t bother correcting mockers;
they will only hate you.
But correct the wise,
and they will love you.
9
Instruct the wise,
and they will be even wiser.
Teach the righteous,
and they will learn even more.
10
Fear of the
Lord
is the foundation of wisdom.
Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment.
11
Wisdom will multiply your days
and add years to your life.
12
If you become wise, you will be the one to benefit.
If you scorn wisdom, you will be the one to suffer.
13
The woman named Folly is brash.
She is ignorant and doesn’t know it.
English Standard Version

she is simple and knows nothing.
New King James Version
Chapter 9
7
“He who corrects a scoffer gets shame for himself,
And he who rebukes a wicked
man only

8
Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you;
Rebuke a wise
man,
and he will love you.

man,

man,
and he will increase in learning.

Lord

the beginning of wisdom,
And the knowledge of the Holy One
is
understanding.

And years of life will be added to you.
12
If you are wise, you are wise for yourself,
And
if
you scoff, you will bear
it
alone.”
13
A foolish woman is clamorous;
She is
simple, and knows nothing.
